Whale Buy Activity Detector (Real-Time)Whale Buy Activity Detector (Real-Time)
This indicator helps to identify abnormal spikes in the volume of purchases, which may indicate the activity of large players ("whales"). It analyzes the volume of purchases and compares it with the average volume over a certain period of time. If the volume of purchases exceeds a set threshold, the indicator marks this as potential whale activity.
Basic parameters:
Volume Threshold (x Average): The coefficient by which the current purchase volume must exceed the average volume in order to be considered abnormal. The default value is 2.0, which means that the purchase volume should be 2 times the average volume for the selected time period. This parameter can be adjusted in the range from 1.0 and higher in increments of 0.1.
Example: If you set the value to 1.5, the indicator will mark situations when the volume of purchases exceeds the average volume by 1.5 times.
Lookback Period: The time period used to calculate the average purchase volume. The default value is 20, which means that the average purchase volume will be calculated for the last 20 candles. This parameter can be set in the range from 1 and above.Example: If you set the value to 10, the average purchase volume will be calculated for the last 10 candles.
How to use:
Buy Volume: Shows the volume of purchases on each candle. This is the volume that was sold at a price higher than the opening price of the candle.
Average Buy Volume: The average volume of purchases over a given time period (Lookback Period). This parameter helps to determine the "normal" level of purchase volume.
Whale Buy: Notes abnormal spikes in the volume of purchases, which may indicate the activity of "whales". The indicator draws a mark on the top of the candle when the purchase volume exceeds the threshold set by the Volume Threshold parameter.
Notifications:
The indicator can send notifications when an abnormal volume of purchases is detected. You can set up notifications via the TradingView menu to receive real-time alerts.
Usage example:
If you are trading in a highly volatile market, you can increase the Volume Threshold to filter out small volume spikes.
If you trade in a low-volatility market, you can reduce the Volume Threshold to capture even small anomalies.
Volatility Price FlowCapitalize on market volatility with our new volatility price flow indicator. We have designed this indicator to process historical price movements and indicate when price may have reached exhaustion in the context of current volatility.
This is achieved by taking the price deviation from a user defined moving average, and applying a weighting to the deviations from the candle body and candle wick on both buy side and sell side, over a user defined period. The period of the base moving average, type of moving average and the period of the historical price deviations can all be modified. This creates a typical 'band' style indicator, though with a unique characteristic that the buy and sell side vary independently as well as the band expansion being based on weighted variables tied to the actual price changes, rather than just a standard deviation the moves uniformly.
Additionally, these bands can be merged with an anchored vwap - we do this so that the deviations of price from the moving average can include a more volume based approach to identifying potential pivots.
The end result is an indicator that reflects the current market price movements, identifies and capitalizes on impulsive or beginning moves to indicate potential tops / bottoms / reversals.
The signals are simple - anytime price closes within a band, having been outside the band, a signal is displayed. As a basic guide to setting the indicator up for the first time, we suggest reducing all of the multipliers to a value less than 1. Then gradually increase each one, until the signals reduce in quantity and improve in quality, starting with the price deviation multiplier, then the volatility multiplier and finally the expansion multiplier.
Last of all, alerts can be created based on the current chart timeframe and indicator settings, simply by adding an alert that uses the built in buy or sell signal.
Note: We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the signals provided, since the user creates the signals by modifying the settings, and as such we can take no responsibility for any trading losses incurred using the indicator and highly encourage all users to manage their risk and only risk what you can afford to lose.

Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter by TenozenNew year, new indicator! Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter is an indicator designed to provide an adaptive approach to trend analysis. Using the Kalman Filter (a recursive algorithm used in signal processing), this algo dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering traders a reliable way to identify trends and manage risk! In other words, it's a remaster of my previous indicator, Kalman Filter by Tenozen.
What's the difference with the previous indicator (Kalman Filter by Tenozen)?
The indicator adjusts its parameters (Q and R) in real-time using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of market volatility. This ensures the filter remains responsive during high-volatility periods and smooth during low-volatility conditions, optimizing its performance across different market environments.
The filter resets on a user-defined timeframe, aligning its calculations with dominant trends and reducing sensitivity to short-term noise. This helps maintain consistency with the broader market structure.
A confidence metric, derived from the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line (measured in ATR multiples), is visualized as a heatmap:
Green : Bullish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Red : Bearish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Gray : Neutral zone (low confidence, suggesting caution).
This provides a clear, objective measure of trend strength.
How it works?
The Kalman Filter estimates the "true" price by filtering out market noise. It operates in two steps, that is, prediction and update. Prediction is about projection the current state (price) forward. Update is about adjusting the prediction based on the latest price data. The filter's parameters (Q and R) are scaled using normalized ATR, ensuring adaptibility to changing market conditions. So it means that, Q (Process Noise) increases during high volatility, making the filter more responsive to price changes and R (Measurement Noise) increases during low volatility, smoothing out the filter to avoid overreacting to minor fluctuations. Also, the trend confidence is calculated based on the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line, measured in ATR multiples, this provides a quantifiable measure of trend strength, helping traders assess market conditions objectively.
How to use?
Use the Kalman Filter line to identify the prevailing trend direction. Trade in alignment with the filter's slope for higher-probability setups.
Look for pullbacks toward the Kalman Filter line during strong trends (high confidence zones)
Utilize the dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk and lock in profits
Confidence Heatmap provides an objective measure of market sentiment, helping traders avoid low-confidence (neutral) zones and focus on high-probability opportunities
Guess that's it! I hope this indicator helps! Let me know if you guys got some feedback! Ciao!

It builds on the script here: by adding this feature.
A little about the Sortino Ratio.
www.nasdaq.com
I want equity market returns, but I don’t want equity market volatility. This is the sentiment many investors naturally feel. This sentiment often grows stronger as one approaches or is in the phase where they desire distributions from their savings to improve lifestyle. This is why there is a need for active management in the investment arena. The desire to control downside volatility, but also participate in the upside growth is a very fundamental human desire. The Sortino Ratio measures how well a particular investment meets this fundamental human desire.
There is the old adage, “volatility is the price you pay for returns.” However, what if we could measure the historical performance of an investment and see if it has given above average returns compared to the downside volatility. This is a simple division problem. It will tell us if the volatility “price we are paying for returns” is good. We can then compare that to other investments to see how they compare.
Let us take the return and subtract the risk-free interest rate and then simply divide that by the downside movement from the average. A basic division problem yielding a number that measures a very basic human desire: How well did this investment do compared to the downside risk it experienced.
In the world of financial analysis and investment management, ratios are abundant. There are many ratios that are truly important to a particular analysis. However, the sheer abundance of ratios that are available often overwhelms the casual investor, leading them to disregard ratios altogether. I would argue for those investors that desire a way to rank an investment by its ability to satisfy this very fundamental human desire, the Sortino Ratio is the number they need to consider.
Disappointing in the marketplace for research, the Sortino Ratio is not featured prominently. It is much easier to find the inflows a particular ETF has experienced than the Sortino Ratio. Inflows are important. They measure how much people are investing into an ETF. However, they are mostly only important to the fund manager, not the investor. What investors care about is the Risk-Adjusted Return. This is the Sortino Ratio.

This tool is useful for trend-following, risk assessment, and identifying overbought/oversold conditions.
HV-RV Oscillator by DINVESTORQ(PRABIR DAS)Description:
The HV-RV Oscillator is a powerful tool designed to help traders track and compare two types of volatility measures: Historical Volatility (HV) and Realized Volatility (RV). This indicator is useful for identifying periods of market volatility and can be employed in various trading strategies. It plots both volatility measures on a normalized scale (0 to 100) to allow easy comparison and analysis.
How It Works:
Historical Volatility (HV):
HV is calculated by taking the log returns of the closing prices and finding the standard deviation over a specified period (default is 14 periods).
The value is then annualized assuming 252 trading days in a year.
Realized Volatility (RV):
RV is based on the True Range, which is the maximum of the current high-low range, the difference between the high and the previous close, and the difference between the low and the previous close.
Like HV, the standard deviation of the True Range over a specified period is calculated and annualized.
Normalization:
Both HV and RV values are normalized to a 0-100 scale, making it easy to see their relative magnitude over time.
The highest and lowest values within the period are used to normalize the data, which smooths out short-term volatility spikes.
Smoothing:
The normalized values of both HV and RV are then smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to reduce noise and provide a clearer trend.
Crossover Signals:
Buy Signal : When the Normalized HV crosses above the Normalized RV, it indicates that the historical volatility is increasing relative to the realized volatility, which could be interpreted as a buy signal.
Sell Signal : When the Normalized HV crosses below the Normalized RV, it suggests that the historical volatility is decreasing relative to the realized volatility, which could be seen as a sell signal.
Features:
Two Volatility Lines: The blue line represents Normalized HV, and the orange line represents Normalized RV.
Neutral Line: A gray dashed line at the 50 level indicates a neutral state between the two volatility measures.
Buy/Sell Markers: Green upward arrows are shown when the Normalized HV crosses above the Normalized RV, and red downward arrows appear when the Normalized HV crosses below the Normalized RV.
Inputs:
HV Period: The number of periods used to calculate Historical Volatility (default = 14).
RV Period: The number of periods used to calculate Realized Volatility (default = 14).
Smoothing Period: The number of periods used for smoothing the normalized values (default = 3).
How to Use:
This oscillator is designed for traders who want to track the relationship between Historical Volatility and Realized Volatility.
Buy signals occur when HV increases relative to RV, which can indicate increased market movement or potential breakout conditions.
Sell signals occur when RV is greater than HV, signaling reduced volatility or potential trend exhaustion.
Example Use Cases:
Breakout/Trend Strategy: Use the oscillator to identify potential periods of increased volatility (when HV crosses above RV) for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion: Use the oscillator to detect periods of low volatility (when RV crosses above HV) that might signal a return to the mean or consolidation.
This tool can be used on any asset class such as stocks, forex, commodities, or indices to help you make informed decisions based on the comparison of volatility measures.

Catalyst TrendCatalyst Trend – A Comprehensive Trend and Regime Analyzer
The Catalyst Trend indicator was designed to dynamically and intuitively merge various classic analytical techniques. The goal is to filter out short-term market noise and reveal reliable trend phases or potential turning points. Below is a detailed explanation of its core elements and practical usage.
1. Concept and Idea
Multidimensional Trend Detection
This indicator goes beyond a simple momentum or volatility focus. It factors in multiple measurements to provide a more well-rounded market perspective.
Versatile Indicator Fusion
Linear Regression (LinReg): Multiple LinReg calculations are combined to smooth out price fluctuations and produce a robust trendline—known here as the “Cycle Reduced Line.”
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Flags potential overbought or oversold conditions, in both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe.
ATR (Average True Range): Assesses volatility; used to dynamically adjust calculation lengths.
By weaving these elements together, the indicator adds value beyond simply stacking multiple indicators. It adapts to real-time market conditions, aiming to highlight genuine trends and reduce false signals.
2. Key Functions and Calculations
Dynamic Length & Smoothing
A blend of volatility (ATR), ADX values, and RSI inputs determines how many candles are used in the LinReg calculations and how heavily the data is smoothed.
This allows the indicator to respond promptly during periods of high volatility, while automatically adjusting to filter out unnecessary noise in quieter phases.c
Cycle Reduced Line
The script averages several offset LinReg calculations to produce a cleaner overall signal. Random outliers are thus minimized, making the trend path more visually consistent.
An additional EMA smoothing (“Final Smoothing”) further stabilizes this trendline, reducing the impact of minor price fluctuations.
Channel Bands (Optional)
These bands are derived from the standard deviation of the price residual (the difference between the smoothed price and the trendline).
They highlight potential over-extension zones: the upper band can mark short-term overbought areas, while the lower band might indicate oversold conditions.
Trend and Sideways Determination
Slope Calculation: The slope of the trendline (comparing the current bar to the previous one) helps identify short-term directional shifts.
DX Threshold: Once the ADX surpasses a user-defined threshold and the slope is positive, it may indicate a developing uptrend. Similarly, if the slope is negative and ADX > threshold, it could signal a potential downtrend.
Multi-Level Color Coding
Original Mode: Interpolated colors reflect uptrends, downtrends, and sideways phases, factoring in metrics like ADX and RSI.
Single Color: For a neutral look, the indicator can be displayed in one uniform color.
HTF RSI: This mode uses the higher-timeframe RSI to color the trendline (Long/Short/Neutral), offering a quick gauge of overarching market pressure.
3. Use Cases and Interpretation
Timeframes & Markets
The indicator is versatile and adapts well to different intervals, from 5-minute charts to weekly views.
It can be applied to various markets—crypto, forex, stocks—since volatility and trend strength are universal concepts.
Signal Recognition
Color Swings into a more pronounced upward hue (e.g., green) may signal mounting strength.
Neutral or mixed tones often point to sideways phases, which breakout traders might watch for potential price surges.
A shift to downward colors (e.g., red) may indicate a growing bearish trend.
Channel Bands & Volatility
When the bands spread widely, it’s wise to proceed with caution: abrupt spikes above the upper band or below the lower band can flag rapid short-term extremes.
These bands are more of a reference for potential overextension than a strict buy or sell trigger.
Additional Confirmations
Not a standalone panacea: The Catalyst Trend indicator is an analytical tool, best used alongside other methods such as volume analysis or price action (candlestick patterns, support/resistance levels) to bolster confidence in trading decisions.
4. Practical Tips
Parameter Adjustments
Depending on the market—crypto vs. traditional currency pairs—different ADX, RSI, or smoothing periods may be more effective. Experiment with the settings to tailor the indicator to your preferred timeframe.
Strategic Integration
Trailing Stops: For those riding a trend, the trendline or the channel bands may serve as a reference to trail stop-loss orders.
Trend Confirmation: Using RSI and ADX filters can help traders avoid sideways markets or stay the course when the trend is strong.
5. Important Final Notes
No Guarantee of Profits
No indicator can predict the future. Markets are inherently volatile and often unpredictable.
Responsible Risk Management
Test the indicator in a demo environment or with smaller positions before committing to large trades.
300-Candle Weighted Average Zones w/50 EMA SignalsThis indicator is designed to deliver a more nuanced view of price dynamics by combining a custom, weighted price average with a volatility-based zone and a trend filter (in this case, a 50-period exponential moving average). The core concept revolves around capturing the overall price level over a relatively large lookback window (300 candles) but with an intentional bias toward recent market activity (the most recent 20 candles), thereby offering a balance between long-term context and short-term responsiveness. By smoothing this weighted average and establishing a “zone” of standard deviation bands around it, the indicator provides a refined visualization of both average price and its recent volatility envelope. Traders can then look for confluence with a standard trend filter, such as the 50 EMA, to identify meaningful crossover signals that may represent trend shifts or opportunities for entry and exit.
What the Indicator Does:
Weighted Price Average:
Instead of using a simple or exponential moving average, this indicator calculates a custom weighted average price over the past 300 candles. Most historical candles receive a base weight of 1.0, but the most recent 20 candles are assigned a higher weight (for example, a weight of 2.0). This weighting scheme ensures that the calculation is not simply a static lookback average; it actively emphasizes current market conditions. The effect is to generate an average line that is more sensitive to the most recent price swings while still maintaining the historical context of the previous 280 candles.
Smoothing of the Weighted Average:
Once the raw weighted average is computed, an exponential smoothing function (EMA) is applied to reduce noise and produce a cleaner, more stable average line. This smoothing helps traders avoid reacting prematurely to minor price fluctuations. By stabilizing the average line, traders can more confidently identify actual shifts in market direction.
Volatility Zone via Standard Deviation Bands:
To contextualize how far price can deviate from this weighted average, the indicator uses standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility—how spread out the price values are around the mean. By adding and subtracting one standard deviation from the smoothed weighted average, the indicator plots an upper band and a lower band, creating a zone or channel. The area between these bands is filled, often with a semi-transparent color, highlighting a volatility corridor within which price and the EMA might oscillate.
This zone is invaluable in visualizing “normal” price behavior. When the 50 EMA line and the weighted average line are both within this volatility zone, it indicates that the market’s short- to mid-term trend and its average pricing are aligned well within typical volatility bounds.
Incorporation of a 50-Period EMA:
The inclusion of a commonly used trend filter, the 50 EMA, adds another layer of context to the analysis. The 50 EMA, being a widely recognized moving average length, is often considered a baseline for intermediate trend bias. It reacts faster than a long-term average (like a 200 EMA) but is still stable enough to filter out the market “chop” seen in very short-term averages.
By overlaying the 50 EMA on this custom weighted average and the surrounding volatility zone, the trader gains a dual-dimensional perspective:
Trend Direction: If the 50 EMA is generally above the weighted average, the short-term trend is gaining bullish momentum; if it’s below, the short-term trend has a bearish tilt.
Volatility Normalization: The bands, constructed from standard deviations, provide a sense of whether the price and the 50 EMA are operating within a statistically “normal” range. If the EMA crosses the weighted average within this zone, it signals a potential trend initiation or meaningful shift, as opposed to a random price spike outside normal volatility boundaries.
Why a Trader Would Want to Use This Indicator:
Contextualized Price Level:
Standard MAs may not fully incorporate the most recent price dynamics in a large lookback window. By weighting the most recent candles more heavily, this indicator ensures that the trader is always anchored to what the market is currently doing, not just what it did 100 or 200 candles ago.
Reduced Whipsaw with Smoothing:
The smoothed weighted average line reduces noise, helping traders filter out inconsequential price movements. This makes it easier to spot genuine changes in trend or sentiment.
Visual Volatility Gauge:
The standard deviation bands create a visual representation of “normal” price movement. Traders can quickly assess if a breakout or breakdown is statistically significant or just another oscillation within the expected volatility range.
Clear Trade Signals with Confirmation:
By integrating the 50 EMA and designing signals that trigger only when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the weighted average while inside the zone, the indicator provides a refined entry/exit criterion. This avoids chasing breakouts that occur in abnormal volatility conditions and focuses on those crossovers likely to have staying power.
How to Use It in an Example Strategy:
Imagine you are a swing trader looking to identify medium-term trend changes. You apply this indicator to a chart of a popular currency pair or a leading tech stock. Over the past few days, the 50 EMA has been meandering around the weighted average line, both confined within the standard deviation zone.
Bullish Example:
Suddenly, the 50 EMA crosses decisively above the weighted average line while both are still hovering within the volatility zone. This might be your cue: you interpret this crossover as the 50 EMA acknowledging the recent upward shift in price dynamics that the weighted average has highlighted. Since it occurred inside the normal volatility range, it’s less likely to be a head-fake. You place a long position, setting an initial stop just below the lower band to protect against volatility.
If the price continues to rise and the EMA stays above the average, you have confirmation to hold the trade. As the price moves higher, the weighted average may follow, reinforcing your bullish stance.
Bearish Example:
On the flip side, if the 50 EMA crosses below the weighted average line within the zone, it suggests a subtle but meaningful change in trend direction to the downside. You might short the asset, placing your protective stop just above the upper band, expecting that the statistically “normal” level of volatility will contain the price action. If the price does break above those bands later, it’s a sign your trade may not work out as planned.
Other Indicators for Confluence:
To strengthen the reliability of the signals generated by this weighted average zone approach, traders may want to combine it with other technical studies:
Volume Indicators (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV):
Confirm that the trend crossover inside the volatility zone is supported by volume. For instance, an uptrend crossover combined with increasing On-Balance Volume (OBV) or volume spikes on up candles signals stronger buying pressure behind the price action.
Momentum Oscillators (e.g., RSI, Stochastics):
Before taking a crossover signal, check if the RSI is above 50 and rising for bullish entries, or if the Stochastics have turned down from overbought levels for bearish entries. Momentum confirmation can help ensure that the trend change is not just an isolated random event.
Market Structure Tools (e.g., Pivot Points, Swing High/Low Analysis):
Identify if the crossover event coincides with a break of a previous pivot high or low. A bullish crossover inside the zone aligned with a break above a recent swing high adds further strength to your conviction. Conversely, a bearish crossover confirmed by a breakdown below a previous swing low can make a short trade setup more compelling.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Comparing where the weighted average zone lies relative to VWAP can provide institutional insight. If the bullish crossover happens while the price is also holding above VWAP, it can mean that the average participant in the market is in profit and that the trend is likely supported by strong hands.
This indicator serves as a tool to balance long-term perspective, short-term adaptability, and volatility normalization. It can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, offering enhanced clarity and precision in detecting meaningful shifts in trend, especially when combined with other technical indicators and robust risk management principles.
Visual ATR StopThis indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to display a visual range for stop placement. Two multiplier values (example, 1 and 3) can be set to create a filled area below the price. This area represents the range between the two ATR levels, adjusted by subtracting the current price, providing a simple way to visualize stop-loss placement based on volatility.
The indicator is customizable; for example, negative values can place the area above the price for short positions. The filled color can also be removed, which allows precise levels to be marked above and below.

Icaro [VekiSeba]
Icaro Indicator: Monitoring Price Extensions
Overview
The Icarus Indicator is a tool designed to help traders identify critical points in the price movements of financial assets. Inspired by the Greek myth of Icarus , this indicator alerts on potential exhaustions in bullish movements or significant price extensions. It is ideal for traders looking to optimize profitability and make strategic decisions on when to exit a position, thereby minimizing the risk of dramatic price reversals.
How the Indicator Works: The Icarus Indicator combines various volatility and trend metrics to provide signals:
ATR (Average True Range): Measures the asset’s volatility, providing insight into the intensity of price movements. This component is crucial for understanding the strength behind the asset’s fluctuations.
Gain from Average Trend: This metric calculates how much the current price has deviated from an average trend line. It helps identify how extended or overvalued the price might be in relation to its overall trend.
ATR Acceleration: Assesses how the pace of volatility change compares to its recent average, indicating rapid changes in volatility that might suggest an increase in momentum or an early warning of overextension.
Visual Signals:
Wing Momentum (Purple Cross): Indicates a significant increase in volatility acceleration, suggesting that the price may be entering a phase of unusual momentum. There is also the potential that this signal could lead to a correction.
Solar Roof (Red Circle): Activates when the price reaches an exhaustion level as defined by the user’s threshold, indicating a possible turning point or correction.
NASDAQ:SMCI
Configuration and Use: Users can customize the "Flight Threshold" to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to their specific trading strategies. Modifying this threshold allows the indicator to be less or more reactive to the asset’s fluctuations.
Originality and Utility of the Indicator: Icarus stands out from other indicators with its unique focus on measuring volatility, offering a dynamic perspective on the asset's conditions. A notable feature of Icarus is its ability to reduce the number of false signals through its specialized formula, which prioritizes accuracy over the frequency of alerts. Although this may mean that the indicator does not react to all price extensions and might occasionally overlook some, it is intentionally designed to provide a higher percentage of correct signals when it does issue an alert. This "lower frequency, higher accuracy" approach is particularly valuable for traders who prefer the quality of signals over quantity, thus minimizing reactions to incorrect market movements and optimizing trading decisions based on highly reliable indicators. However, it is important to note that no indicator, including Icarus, can guarantee 100% effectiveness. Indeed, we cannot quantify the exact success rate of Icarus, as its performance can vary widely depending on the volatility of each asset and the market context at any given time.

Beta CoefficientThe Beta indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to calculate and display the beta coefficient of a specific instrument relative to a chosen benchmark. Beta is a measure of the volatility or systematic risk of an asset compared to the overall market (or a specific benchmark). This indicator helps traders and investors understand how much the price of the instrument moves relative to the benchmark, which is useful for assessing market risk exposure.
Input Parameters:
Beta Measurement Period (length1) :
This parameter defines the look back period for calculating beta, which is typically the number of days (or bars) over which the beta coefficient is computed. The longer the period, the more reliable the measurement of beta will be, as it averages out short-term fluctuations. The default value is 200, but this can be adjusted by the user.
Benchmark Instrument :
The default benchmark in this indicator is the Bitcoin (BTC/USD) index, though this can be adjusted to any other market or asset (e.g., S&P 500, Dow Jones) by modifying the symbol in the script.
Interpretation:
A Beta > 1: The instrument is more volatile than the benchmark. If the benchmark increases or decreases, the instrument is likely to experience larger price movements in the same direction.
A Beta < 1: The instrument is less volatile than the benchmark, meaning its price movements will be smaller relative to the benchmark's changes.
A Beta = 1: The instrument moves in close correlation with the benchmark.
Usage:
This indicator is particularly useful for:
Portfolio Risk Management :
By understanding an asset's beta, traders and investors can assess how much exposure they have to the risk associated with the benchmark.
Market Timing :
The beta coefficient can signal the level of market sensitivity of an asset, which is useful for determining when to take more or less aggressive positions.
HMA Gaussian Volatility AdjustedOverview
The "HMA Gaussian Volatility Adjusted" indicator introduces a unique combination of HMA smoothing with a Gaussian filter and two components to measure volatility (Average True Range (ATR) and Standard Deviation (SD)). This tool provides traders with a stable and accurate measure of price trends by integrating a Gaussian Filter smoothed using HMA with a customized calculation of volatility. This innovative approach allows for enhanced sensitivity to market fluctuations while filtering out short-term price noise.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "HMA Gaussian Volatility Adjusted" indicator incorporates HMA smoothing and dynamic standard deviation calculations to build upon traditional volatility measures.
HMA & Gaussian Smoothing:
HMA Calculation (HMA_Length): The script applies a Hull Moving Average (HMA) to smooth the price data over a user-defined period, reducing noise and helping focus on broader market trends.
Gaussian Filter Calculation (Length_Gaussian): The smoothed HMA data is further refined by putting it into a Gaussian filter to incorporate a normal distribution.
Volatility Measurement:
ATR Calculation (ATR_Length, ATR_Factor): The indicator incorporates the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. The user-defined ATR multiplier is applied to this value to calculate upper and lower trend bands around the Gaussian, providing a dynamic measure of potential price movement based on recent volatility.
Standard Deviation Calculation (SD_Length): The script calculates the standard deviation of the price over a user-defined length, providing another layer of volatility measurement. The upper and lower standard deviation bands (SDD, SDU) act as additional indicators of price extremes.
Momentum Calculation & Scoring
When the indicator signals SHORT:
Diff = Price - Upper Boundary of the Standard Deviation (calculated on a Gaussian filter).
When the indicator signals LONG:
Diff = Price - Upper Boundary of the ATR (calculated on a Gaussian filter).
The calculated Diff signals how close the indicator is to changing trends. An EMA is applied to the Diff to smooth the data. Positive momentum occurs when the Diff is above the EMA, and negative momentum occurs when the Diff is below the EMA.
Trend Detection
Trend Logic: The indicator uses the calculated bands to identify whether the price is moving within or outside the standard deviation and ATR bands. Crosses above or below these bands, combined with positive/negative momentum, signals potential uptrends or downtrends, offering traders a clear view of market direction.
Features and User Inputs
The "HMA Gaussian Volatility Adjusted" script offers a variety of user inputs to customize the indicator to suit traders' styles and market conditions:
HMA Length: Allows traders to adjust the sensitivity of the HMA smoothing to control the amount of noise filtered from the price data.
Gaussian Length: Users can define the length at which the Gaussian filter is applied.
ATR Length and Multiplier: These inputs let traders fine-tune the ATR calculation, affecting the size of the dynamic upper and lower bands to adjust for price volatility.
Standard Deviation Length: Controls how the standard deviation is calculated, allowing further customization in detecting price volatility.
EMA Confluence: This input lets traders determine the length of the EMA used to calculate price momentum.
Type of Plot Setting: Allows users to determine how the indicator signal is plotted on the chart (Background color, Trend Lines, BOTH (backgroung color and Trend Lines)).
Transparency: Provides users with customization of the background color's transparency.
Color Long/Short: Offers users the option to choose their preferred colors for both long and short signals.
Summary and Usage Tips
The "HMA Gaussian Volatility Adjusted" indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to refine their analysis of market trends and volatility. Its combination of HMA smoothing, Gaussian filtering, and standard deviation analysis provides a nuanced view of market movements by incorporating various metrics to determine direction, momentum, and volatility.
